I've only got yahoo and whatever works with my gmail account. I'm house-sitting in a condo in roger's park and I'm game.

Am I crazy, or is there some way now to make all of the different messaging systems compatible?

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 06:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm on AIM right now. There are Google Groups like there are Yahoo Groups: for listservs.

There is some chat client that combines them all, I'll have to ask 3mm4 what she uses.

Back at work, back at work.

went to that strip of Milwaukee between Ashland and Damen that is just lousy with crappy furniture stores.

i love that strip, especially the part between paulina and about wood or so.

kev: xmas mix is a real hit with the fam!

awesome. the only thing i'd do differently is maybe leave off the andre williams song as it's somewhat raunchy but i put it towards the end of the mix in hopes that if it were played at a party everyone would have enough drinks in them by that point to appreciate it.

Thanks to John/Eric/Amanda/Jesse/etc. for coming out this weekend btw, that was nice. I had a great time in Chicago even if I was so tired I could hardly speak by the end of the second night.

Final restaurant count: Lawrence's twice, Ashkenaz Deli once, Fiesta Mexicana once, Hot Doug's zero. As John said I think it has become my white wale. :(

Bra is starting to pinch, removed it in secret girl way without substantially disarranging any clothing.

is this the thing where you unhook it then slide it off a shoulder then shoot it out the other sleeve? 'cause that is still a wonder to me every time i see it. i'm still not quite sure how that works but i don't spend much time pondering it either. i need some mysteries, y'know?

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Chat thing is Meebo I think.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I had Xmas eve dinner at Andie's - good food.

The bra trick is dazzling because is is concealed and quick.

i'm so congested that my left eye is watering.
if i were a horse they'd put me down.
they shoot horse, don't they?

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

why am i here? i don't mean that in an existential way, i mean why the fuck am i at work? i'm not doing anything but wishing i was home in bed nursing a pint of nyquil. on the bright side only four and a half more hours to go.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I've still got this headache thing that only hurts when I stand up or lie down, like it's an equilibrium thing. I'm pretty sure it's either minor cold/flu symptoms (although otherwise I'm not that stuffed up) or a brain tumor.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

So is everyone else on vacation still?

My stomach is still in holiday mode, I feel like I have to end every meal with 7+ cookies.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

no, i'm at work and now actually doing work while wishing death would come claim me.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 19:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still on vacation (sorry). Comin' back Thursday, hopefully in time to make it to Old Timer's for a couple if TT is still happening, though I'm not sure how late I'll end up rolling into town.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I am still on vacation, though I am working from my parents' basement for the next couple of days, which means waking up at 7 a.m., though it wasn't until this minute that I realized I could sleep until 7 instead of 6 due to the time difference. I went shopping for a suit today for the wedding. It was pretty painless but made me feel obese. Later I walked up to Seven Corners to get out of the house and wandered around in Guitar Center and bought my mom a gift certificate to the Vietnamese restaurant she likes for her birthday. I've been reading a lot, finished "Carter Beats the Devil" in a couple of days (the perfect vacation book, fascinating but quick) and the Bill Bryson Australia book in a day or so. Other than that, I've been sitting in my parents' basement trying to find anything good to watch on cable. I am ready to come home.

you going to that black lips show on thursday nick?

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Looks like it.

― n/a (n/a), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess I will read more now.

My work is in the pre-real-Jan/Feb-doldrums doldrums. I am bracing for being might broke.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I play the doldrums. I am a doldrummer.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i get those a lot. it prob means that you're a bit fluey in a way that has messed with your blood pressure a bit.

i watched a movie that was a very bad movie to watch on christmas day, though a good movie--tsotsi. not a fluffy heartwarming cute thing to watch when sick in bed on a holiday. and jimmy stewart was nowhere to be found on tv. i heard that someone bought the rights to it's a wonderful life and they barely ever show it now.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

So you're saying it's not a tumah? Oh good.

Movies I watched over the weekend:

Beastmaster (part of it anyway, in the hotel. I love the Beastmaster handshake)

Little Miss Sunshine (there could have been much worse movies to watch w/dad & stepmom)

The Good Sheperd (slow, long, boring, just like espionage work is? I liked it anyway)

Oleanna (I'm not sure but I think I really liked this)

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry I didn't get on AIM, Laurel. I was on the verge of unconsciousness, watching Youtube in bed. Things are not going to be right for a while I think, considering that I was drinking and eating for 3 days straight.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

i watched the blues brothers and the muppet movie (that was a gift from my sister).

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

jesse, i txted jenny to try to get your # so we could booze it up or whatnot but never heard back from her.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Boo.

That would have been fun. You would have been especially welcome as a reliable 3rd-shift guy.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't know what that means. instead i watched the best of triumph the insult comic dog on dvd which was a present from me to me.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I had Sayjal as 1st shift, then someone else and then I was all alone at the bar. Same situation the next day.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

dang, yeah. i could've worked a double actually.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

The Loop is lively with shoppers, but my building is empty. No L3o Burn3tters, no attorneys staff at W|inston/Str@um, even the Cartridge World and the hair and nail salons are closed. It's 40-some floors of nothing except for bored waiters.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

a cop was shot about an hour ago at artesian and division, that shouldn't fuck up my trip home too much i'm sure.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

What was he doing to get himself shot?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

probably acting like a dick or something. or busting criminals or whatever.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it is because of what he was wearing. He was asking for it.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 26 December 2006 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

later chicago, i'm going home to curl up with my nyquil.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm here. I imagine everyone else is having champagne blowjobs or whatever people on vacation do.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I am working in my parents' basement. Got the space heater on.

― n/a (n/a), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Just got to work. Nick and Sarah: I visited your cats last night. They are well.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I heard a really annoying solo (free jazz) sax piece on the way to work. It was like someone going "heyheyheyheyguesswhatguesswhatguesswhatheyheyguessguesswhat" and then screaming in your ear. I kept listening to it because it wasn't talk radio.
